Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) - Contractor Registration is the relevant authority. Washington requires L&I contractor registration (a bond-and-insurance registration, distinct from a trade license) for anyone advertising or bidding construction work, regardless of size.
Licensing threshold: no statewide dollar floor - registration required to advertise or bid.
L&I's contractor lookup shows registration, bond, and any violations. Check a license here.
Signed a contract at your door and had second thoughts? Federal law (the FTC's Cooling-Off Rule) gives you 3 business days to cancel most door-to-door sales over $25, no reason required - Washington follows the same 3-day window for home-solicitation sales.
To report a problem: Washington Attorney General - Consumer Protection, file a complaint here. L&I requires every registered contractor to carry a bond; a homeowner can file a claim against that bond for unresolved work.
Nine months of rain (roughly October-June) finds every weak point in a roof, gutter, or foundation before it ever gets hot enough to matter. Summer is short and dry, and exterior work gets crammed into it.
